“A fine chandelier is an investment that will add to the value of your home.”

How To Choose The Right Size And Lighting Power Of A Murano Chandelier

Your Murano chandelier must be the most decorative element in your room. It is designed to float in a room as an important part of the décor. Too large and this fixture will overpower the space. Too small, and it will look out of place.

The following is a guideline for you to follow when deciding how to hang your Murano chandelier:

  • 80” from the floor to the end of the chandelier would be a standard rule of thumb unless the chandelier is being hung over a table. In this case, the space can be reduced.

  • To have an idea of how large your chandelier has to be, this formula is the right one: In a square room: one wall (feet) x 2.2 = width of chandelier; In a rectangular room, these formulas are for the shorter wall, but if one wall is twice the size of the other, we suggest to use two identical chandeliers.

  • Wattage – you can use bulbs from 15 to 60 watts depending upon how bright you want the area to be lit; also, with larger chandeliers, it would be a good idea to use a double switch or dimmer.

How To Shop For A Murano Chandelier

Both fashionable and functional chandeliers should be incorporated with the home décor just as any decorative art object.

To find the right color, begin with a color or material that is predominant in the decoration scheme of the room. Depending on the impact you may want to convey, for traditional styling you may want to consider an ornate, detailed chandelier. For a more modern style, you may want to opt for a less ornamental chandelier with a simpler design.

Visit several lighting showrooms prepared with a photo or sketch of the space you want to illuminate. It is important to also have the color palate of the space so that you will be able to find a chandelier that is complementary to these colors. When checking out your chandelier prior to your purchase, make certain to look at the quality and detail of the fixture.

Another important consideration is the weight of the chandelier. Those heavier than 50lbs have to be mounted more securely to the house’s structure.

The chandelier has been carefully assembled and hung. Perfect in every way, your Murano chandelier adds beauty and elegance to your living space. It provides the perfect accent to your décor. Your chandelier is not only functional, but a decorative work of art!
